MILWAUKEE, April 3, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SNAP is responsible for the majority of Farm Bill outlays. Some federal legislators would like to reallocate money from SNAP towards safety net programs for commodity farmers. New research demonstrates how SNAP itself helps farmers. SNAP increases demand for the food and commodities that farmers grow; farm commodity prices are slightly (less than 1%) higher due to SNAP. Therefore the conclusion is drawn that SNAP not only benefits U.S. households in need, it supports U.S. farmers as well.

WESTMINSTER, Colo., Feb. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Recently published research in the journal Weed Science highlights the first predictive model to use hydrothermal time (HTT) unit data to predict Russian thistle (Salsola tragus) seedling emergence in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). The predictive model will be especially helpful in timing efforts to control Russian thistle populations in fallow and spring-wheat no-till systems that are vulnerable to becoming herbicide resistant.

During the study, Dr. Oreja and collaborating researchers were able to develop and validate an HTT unit model to successfully predict Russian thistle seedling emergence patterns under PNW field conditions.
In addition, the model can help farmers and agronomists control Russian thistle seedling populations with fewer herbicide applications than the current, three to four standard application practice used in wheat-fallow rotations.
